Evaluating the Ecological and Social Dimensions towards Sustainability: A Case of Dravyavati River Revitalization, Jaipur

This study assesses the Dravyavati River Revitalization Project in Jaipur, India, focusing on its ecological and social impacts. Historically vital, the Dravyavati River faced severe degradation from urbanization and pollution. Inspired by successful precedents like the Sabarmati Riverfront, the project aims to restore ecological balance, improve water quality, and create vibrant public spaces. We evaluate changes in water quality, biodiversity, and ecosystem health, alongside the project's influence on local communities, livelihoods, and quality of life. The research emphasizes understanding the current state, analyzing best practices from other river revitalization initiatives, and providing recommendations for long-term sustainability, aiming to inform future urban river restoration efforts and foster a harmonious relationship between Jaipur's citizens and nature
